August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

Sowing To Reap Eternal Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2019 · 1h 34m
The sermon emphasizes that believers should overcome doubts regarding God's constant happiness and presence, remembering that God is always in their midst as a victorious warrior. It teaches that while Christians are not instantly free from sin or sickness, Jesus's death on the cross defeated Satan completely, and our growth in strength comes progressively through ongoing trials, much like exercising in a gym.

The message focuses on overcoming the deceptions and accusations thrown by Satan.

God Created Man To Subdue And Rule - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 24, 2018 · 53m
God's original intention for humanity was for man to rule over the earth, subduing all creatures, both in nature and in sin. This principle extends from Adam's initial mandate to Cain's struggle against sin, and later to the Christian life, where believers are called to conquer and rule over their internal desires and lusts. The speaker emphasizes that with God's support, believers can overcome all spiritual enemies, just as Israel was commanded to conquer all inhabitants of the land.

Effective Prayer - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 2, 2018 · 20m
True prayer is not a ritual or a timed activity, but rather a constant attitude of heart that permeates all aspects of life, like breathing. The speaker emphasizes that believers should strive to pray without ceasing by focusing on the reality of Christ in every moment. Furthermore, prayer should focus on protecting what God has purchased for us spiritually—such as freedom from anxiety and the ability to love—from the enemy's theft.

Setting Our Mind On God's Interests - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 19, 2018 · 1h 7m
The speaker urges young, born-again Christians to show the same zeal for spiritual education that parents show for worldly education. He warns that neglecting spiritual growth in favor of earthly pursuits can lead to spiritual decline and deception. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that spiritual education must be prioritized, as the Lord often rebukes those He loves, which is a sign of His care.

16.Why Satan Was Not Destroyed - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2017 · 25m
The speaker discusses the theological question of why God did not destroy Satan immediately after his fall. He argues that God allows Satan to exist because God can use even an enemy or rebel to fulfill His greater purposes. He cites the example of Pharaoh, whom God used to demonstrate His power, and the example of Paul's 'thorn in the flesh,' which kept him humble and dependent on God.

13.How Satan Became Satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2017 · 24m
The speaker explains the origin of evil by tracing the fall of a high-ranking angel, often associated with Lucifer. This angel, gifted with immense wisdom and beauty, became proud of his own status and abilities, leading him to believe he was equal to God. This overreaching pride caused him to disobey God's boundaries, resulting in his fall and transformation into the devil.

23.Satan Has Been Defeated - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2017 · 25m
The speaker explains that Christ accomplished two major things on the cross: first, He paid the full penalty for humanity's sin, canceling the debt owed to God. Second, He defeated Satan's power by disarming the rulers and principalities that had held man captive. The speaker emphasizes that while Satan is not destroyed, his power is broken for anyone who accepts Christ as Lord.

Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus All The Time - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 8, 2017 · 54m
The central message is the necessity of keeping our focus on Jesus at all times, not just during designated times of worship. The speaker uses the biblical accounts of Jesus calming the storm (Matthew 14 and Mark 6) to illustrate that life's struggles are often storms orchestrated by Satan. True obedience to Christ's commands is not burdensome because the Holy Spirit accompanies us through every trial, requiring faith and reliance on Jesus's presence.

3.Satan's Tactics - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2017 · 25m
The speaker analyzes Satan's tactics by examining the temptation in Genesis 3, warning that the devil's primary strategy is to make people question God's Word. He warns that just as the devil told Eve that disobedience wouldn't result in death, he today tells believers that living according to the flesh is not fatal after accepting Christ. Furthermore, the devil lies by suggesting God withholds good things or doesn't care for us, contrary to God's true purpose of blessing humanity.

Eight Steps To Overcome Discouragement - Newton
CFC Messages · Jul 4, 2017 · 58m
Discouragement is presented as a universal temptation, described as one of the devil's most useful weapons because it deflates spiritual strength. The speaker emphasizes that while being tempted to be discouraged is not sin, succumbing to it is a choice. To overcome it, one must be occupied with God's love, goodness, and mercy, and actively choose to rejoice in the Lord regardless of current feelings or circumstances.

Gideon - A Great Example To The Church - Newton
Newton · Jun 23, 2017 · 44m
The sermon uses the story of Gideon from Judges chapter 6 as an illustration of God's faithfulness despite Israel's repeated cycles of sin, idolatry, and disobedience. The speaker emphasizes that true worship means loving the Lord with heart, mind, and soul, and that the church must be free from all forms of idolatry. Gideon's journey highlights that God provides encouragement and testing, urging believers to overcome discouragement and engage in spiritual warfare against the devil.

5.Jesus Overcame In Weakness (Иисус победил в слабость) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 1m
The sermon explains that the Old Testament serves as a shadow pointing toward fulfillment in the New Testament, using examples like the Sabbath and tithes to teach obedience to God. It emphasizes two key spiritual journeys: the Exodus from Egypt (representing freedom from sin/the world) and the subsequent departure from Babylon (representing freedom from legalism and empty traditions). True Christian life requires a complete separation from the world's systems, making the spiritual battle against Satan the primary focus.

08.GOD USES EVEN SATAN TO GLORIFY GOD - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2015 · 54m
The sermon explores the concept that God can use even Satan's actions to ultimately glorify Himself, citing the Book of Job as a prime example. Job's initial righteousness was undermined by his pride in his own goodness, which God allowed Satan to expose. The speaker argues that God's ultimate plan works for good, even through apparent evil, drawing parallels to the crucifixion of Christ and the ministry of Paul, who remained silent about his heavenly visit as proof of divine restraint.

05.HOW SATAN CANNOT TOUCH YOU - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2015 · 1h 2m
The speaker discusses the spiritual reality that while the world system is under the power of the evil one, a believer born of God is protected. He emphasizes that keeping oneself in purity means immediately getting up after falling, rather than continuing to live in sin. The central message is that a child of God maintains a life of purity, making them untouchable by the evil one, much like astronauts needing an airtight suit to survive in a hostile environment.

Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 1h 3m
The central message is that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ operates contrary to worldly standards of power, status, and competition. True followers are called to humble themselves, seeking to 'go down' rather than 'go up,' mirroring Christ's descent. Furthermore, the Christian battle is not against human beings or other Christians, but against spiritual forces and sin, which requires believers to be anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 41m
The speaker emphasizes that Jesus Christ holds all authority in heaven and on earth, a truth that remains despite global opposition. He argues that God permits Satan and trials to exist because He uses these very forces to manifest His power and glorify His name.

3.With Christ In Us, We Can Overcome - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 3m
The central message is that the believer's righteousness should flow effortlessly, like a river or tsunami, rather than being a constant struggle.
